  • what's the point of taking the piano cover off? For projection into the hall? Is it common for a soloist to have the cover off (or just when there are two pianos?)

  • When 2 pianos stay together on stage, one must stand the opposite side to fit in (so pianists can look at each others) but in this way the cover "throws" the sound towards the orchestra and cannot reach the audience.

    The piano with the cover helps also the other one to send the sound into the right direction. Some Duos prefer to take off both covers, it depends also from the acustic. Usually it never happens for soloists. I hope I gave you a clear answer.

  • I love how she's wearing a pink dress and sitting on a black piano stool, and he's wearing a black suit and sitting on a pink piano stool!

  • A brilliant interpretation. Somewhat ruined by the audience not shutting up. I would NEVER go to a concert and chat to my friend while they play.

  • Way too slow. This interpretation misses lot of energy !

  • Can't get enough of this Haydnesque concerto! It always lifts my spirits.

  • @hazimsuhadi

    Yes, but a few other pieces also. I love McPhee's music, partly because it is so far-seeing, considering when most of it was composed. I was, frankly, surprised to find an idiomatic connection, because Poulenc is such a "French" composer :)

  • @tamcon72 Are you talking about the 'Balinese Ceremonial Music' by McPhee? I played that piece with a colleague who introduced it to me! I think both pieces borrowed the same gamelan scale :)

  • @hazimsuhadi

    So glad someone else has noticed this, too, because when I hear this movement, I always think of Colin McPhee's music and then think, "Oh, it must be just my imagination that there seems to be a similarity . . . "

  • Always love Poulenc...

  • Connection in Modern impresionist and Balinese gamelan pelog & slendro.. nice.. Poulenc one of the greatest Gay Pianist Composer Ever...
